CONCEPTS thwart entry of an IDEA

They cause our intellect to grow in our own sweet way. As we become more intellectual, more and more concepts creeps in, more and more we become a subject position and more and more we lose position as a conscious subject.

That’s right we can argue well but to open heartedly embrace an alternative idea or different opinion is difficult.

We used to be open to new ideas and new information in our younger days. We were intelligent then but not intellectual.

As we grow intellectual, old and dead information thwarts the entry of the new. Our intellect starts filtering the information and restricts a part which enters without known frames.

We are well off worldly, sound mentally, reasonable philosophically but still we are not original. We are trapped in our understanding and prisoner of thoughts.

Concepts construct our intellectual boundary.

This is the point from where our intellectual blindness starts.

This happens when we encounter new things. We simply term new information fantastic, we may even argue over some obvious aspects of it. But we will have to admit that we cannot understand, not even comprehend.

It is difficult for us to visualize new ideas with our old spectacles.
